Thank you for viewing my work.
This is a large desk, made from Indian mango wood, constructed in a solid modernist style, with three drawers, fantastic solid tapered legs, reminiscent of Jean Prouve furniture, allowing spacious leg room below the working and storing area.
Products and processes.
Thorough cleaning and sanding, followed by three coats of Frenchic 'Earthy' paint to all four legs, three coats of Frenchic 'Pistache' to main body, table top, back, sides, front drawer apertures and under side (photos available on request). Left and right drawer fronts in ReColour 'Teal', with Rustoleum 'Chalky White' for hand painted pattern. Centre drawer front in bespoke mixed undercoat and top coat by Johnstones paints, followed with 'Pistache', 'Chalk White' and 'Teal' hand painted patterns. Videos and photographs of all processes available on request. Clear wax used to seal drawer fronts.
Inspiration and influence for design and colour.
The entire desk has an organic modernist look, with a French post war era feel, so I opted for muted complementary colours for the main areas and bright secondary complementaries for the drawer fronts, repeating the colours all over again in the details of the design. For the actual pattern I took inspiration from the mid century David Whitehead of Rawtenstall catalogues, particularly the surface patterns of Marion Mahler and Tom Mellor, and I replicated the line quality to fit the drawer fronts individually after practising on sample boards. The sample boards are also available by request.This desk is ready to use and in excellent repainted condition. drawers are running smoothly. The desk will arrive with legs wrapped separately, and they are easy to screw into place when you have found the right spot for the desk in your home. Shipping ref:c3

Beautiful Chair

I wanted a bit more of a statement piece for the alcove in my dining room and instantly loved the fabric on this restored chair. It looks great and something different to what’s available in a furniture store. Customer service and delivery was great too and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Upcite to friends and family. I’ll certainly keep an eye out for other pieces that become available that will look great in my home.

Beautiful ottoman

Here is the ottoman in its new place - I said to Julie that its photo didn’t really do it justice - its absolutely lovely.

I would LIKE to be able to say that every purchase I make is dominated by deciding what's best for the environment.
However, to be honest it's more the individual artistry that goes into it that makes it a special unique piece of furniture. You simply cannot buy that new. Unless I suppose you commission an individual piece, in which case the astronomical price would put me off.
I was trawling for sideboards several months ago and one just jumped out screaming "buy me!" I did and I absolutely love it. I bought a beautiful trunk from her as well.
So now I will always see what upcycled beauties are available before buying new.

Purchased 3 large bookcases

I honestly was so delighted with finally getting hold of this beautiful piece which I had set my eyes on for sometime now! The communication with the seller was outstanding, he was so engaged in securing the assembly and delivery happens. Honestly, UPCITE was a great experience for me with your few emails checking is all fine. Very spot on for this type of items. The only leaa pleasant experience was the delivery team themselves, not the courier company; they damaged some paint on my walls, on the bookcase. Perhaps the packing could also be more secured at the edges as discussed with Gabriel.

Please continue the great work, much appreciated.

"The sideboard is stunning, thank you. Looks perfect in my flat. As if it was meant to be there".

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
